  1. If I extrapolated Houck's starts last year to a full season it'd get to 161. Again, it moves Houck to the pen. He can get through the order a third time without turning into a pumpkin like Houck. He's just not a very compelling 5th starter. There's no ceiling to look forward to.
  2. NEW TARGET ACQUIRED @rotoworld_bb Cubs and Red Sox have interest in RHP Stanek
  3. Sweet Caroline will be on the menu no matter what.
  4. Sign Lauer at 1/5 and move Houck to the pen? Does it greatly impact the Sox? He's only thrown 150 innings once.
  5. https://www.overthemonster.com/2024/1/25/24045834/the-red-sox-dont-need-john-henry-and-tom-werner-free-agent-rumors-news-liverpool-fenway-sports-group
  6. This is incorrect as their ownership doesn't want to spend on a team that they don't see as contending. They are waiting until the prospects develop and then they will spend again. For now, any additional spending is seen as throwing money away.
  7. @rotoworld_bb Report: Blue Jays have "very real" interest in Soler
  8. @JeffPassan New at ESPN+: Understanding MLB's slow free agent market -- and how this is nothing compared to what happened six years ago. Also included: Details on the biggest names left and how they are almost certain to go into February as free agents still. @redsoxstats The Red Sox are among those listed as teams involved for Boras' "big four" remaining free agents that are expecting deals for $100M+. Let's see how that works out.
  9. Lauer's spin rate dropped off last year. His Statcast looks like Mr Freeze.
  10. After that, there's not a whole lot to get excited about.
  11. For the available FA, they've expressed interest in: Soler Duvall Turner (Turner said he hasn't heard from them) Montgomery How likely is it that the Red Sox would get 2 of the top 6 remaining FA's (Soler and Monty)? Seems pretty low considering all that we've heard!
  12. Players are starting to come off the board again and the Sox are not really being linked to players anymore. I don't see much happening here on out for them.
  13. "Oh s***, I shouldn't have said that because we still have tickets to sell!"
  14. I wonder if they look into keeping Anthony up the middle, which would then just be replacing Duran's LHB with Anthony's LHB.
  15. 1. yes 2. Houck will be in the rotation 3. yes 4. maybe? I want to believe. 5. maybe on Bello, but Crawford will be about the same which is ok 6. sure 7. doubt it 8. less about the option and more about his continued sweeper use 9. unbelievable...
  16. I won't even watch all of the games in the first week. 7 of the first 10 games start at 9:40 pm or later for me.
  17. It was over before it began.
  18. Who knows? He hit 4 seamers well before coming to BOS. Was the decline injury driven?
  19. @ChrisCotillo Such a notable line here from @alexspeier: "If the Sox have a lower payroll... It would mark the first time under this ownership that the team reduced payroll for tax purposes by design in back-to-back years." "Hurr durr, why did you guys expect them to actually spend this offseason?"
  20. Serious playoff contention. 87-88 wins.
  21. If Bauer is unsigned this offseason, we can look forward to talking about him all year.
  22. If they are going with what they got, don't expect all that much improvement from last year.
  23. It's better than yesterday afternoon discourse!
  24. People are saying the Sox should trade players, because the owners have explicitly stated that they will not spend further on the team. The only way to get better is via trade.
